I dunno Mike. If it's a City sell off, they probably provide paper work to be able to get a title. Doubt they'd be selling the Ford without a title, same would go for any other vehicle that requires a title by law.

That would be great if they did, but I would not bank on it. It would be worth a shot. Also FYI the fees in MD for registration are about 3 times the cost that it is in Vermont. Also the renewals are way cheaper there. So if MD gave any trouble at all I would not hesitate to just go through Vermont.

He may need a VIN Verification, read the fine print for vehicles 15 years old or newer. On that note, would VT accept a MD state inspector to do that? The info provided seems to suggest yes but it is vague. Otherwise, one would need to scam the state troopers or MVA as they wouldn't do it willingly unless you have a pal there. If a licensed MD state inspector is qualified by VT to do a VIN verification, (and if it's indeed necessary,) find a friendly one, tell him what's up and slip him $40. It should be an easy 5 minutes at $480/hr for the inspector.

If one just needs to get a title for a thirty year old vehicle, and doesn't plan to be riding the vehicle in the near future, does anyone know if VT requires liability insurance to get a VT registration??
